So yesterday I was practicing a dance for my dance recital. I did a çhasse and when I went into my Grande jèté, I felt like a twist or something in my knee and then I stopped and sat down clutching my knee for like two minutes. It’s honestly worse today than it was yesterday. I’m going to the doctor tomorrow and I’m gonna ask her about it. I read on WebMD that it’s most likely a minor meniscus tear and usually heals within 3-4 weeks on its own. Problem is tho, my Dance recital is exactly 2 weeks from today... I’m icing my knee constantly and I’m trying to keep weight off of it as much as possible. I’m also elevating it but also doing a few simple ballet exercises that require the knee but not much, just so it doesn’t stiffen. Any tips on how to maybe help speed up the healing process a bit besides pain killers? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: So, Went to doctor, she told me it was a minor sprain and should heal in about a week. If it doesn’t I’m going to have to go back for an X-ray and possibly an MRI to see if I tore a ligament. Thank you all for your help! ☺️☺️💜
